If you do not have an ESP, you may want to register for a free account to test with on MailChimp or Campaign Monitor to send your test emails to Litmus.Īlternatively, you can use PutsMail. If you are pasting your HTML to start a new Checklist, be sure to include a plain text version in the corresponding tab in order to test it.

To test the plain text version of your email, you will need to send your email in via your email service provider (ESP). If a plain text version is not present you may see a message saying that a plain text version was not present.
